Don’t think for a minute that you can only use this beautiful ballroom just for your reception! The Westin Downtown Columbus can provide everything that you need for your wedding day in-house. In addition to the ultimate reception, you will also have the option of having a beautiful ceremony in the Grand Ballroom or the more intimate Seneca Room. 

So if you are considering having your reception and ceremony at the Westin, here is what typically happens.

  1. The ceremony space will be in two-thirds of the ballroom. Your actual ceremony will occur at the front of the ballroom - ie the High Street side of the ballroom.

  2. There is a large section of white draping that the bride and bridesmaids ‘hide behind’. Not only does this hide part of the room from view, but it also makes for a dramatic entrance.

  3. Once the ceremony is completed, your guests will go out to the lobby for the cocktail hour. While this is happening, the staff will begin to change the ballroom over for your reception. During this time the wedding party is often getting pictures taken.

  4. Your guests will then come back into the ballroom for the reception where you can be assured of having a wonderful time for your family and guests.

Picture-Perfect Moments At The Westin Columbus

Photographers (of course brides and grooms) love this venue for its architectural beauty and natural light. Some of the most striking shots include couples framed by stained glass, reflected in the ballroom’s mirrors, or enjoying quiet moments on the grand staircase.

 

More Insider Tips For Receptions The Westin Columbus

So if you’re not too tired to hear this for the 100th time on this post, the ballroom is really beautiful. You typically don’t have to do too much extra decor in this ballroom, which is really nice bonus. Having said that, lets start off with some decor thoughts.

  • On the floral side, tall centerpieces work very well in this room with its very high ceilings.

  • We see a lot of soft pastel colors being used in the ballroom. But don’t be afraid of using a bolder and perhaps a bit darker color to make your reception stand apart.

  • If you are considering having decor lighting for your reception, the columns in the ballroom are the perfect focal point. This can really enhance the look of the ballroom.

Finally, here are some thoughts about the actual hotel from the point of view of you and your guests.

  • The actual hotel rooms are unique too. Most hotel rooms are all the same design - very basic. But the Westin is so unique that there is a wide difference in some of the rooms. Some of smaller and actually quite quaint. But others (especially the corner rooms) can be very large.

  • Another nice thing about this venue is that they usually only have one wedding happening at any given time. That means you can almost always be assured of having their full attention. For Saturday weddings, there are typically two time periods available. You can have the ballroom from noon - 5PM or from 7PM- Midnight. You can of course get the ballroom for the entire day.

Preferred Vendors At The Westin Columbus

The Westin’s curated vendor list includes some of the most experienced Central Ohio wedding professionals — vendors who know the space well, ensuring your day runs smoothly.

Why Choose the Westin Columbus for Your Wedding

With a stunning ballroom, attentive staff, and guest-friendly amenities, it’s no wonder so many couples choose this venue for their big day.

Wedding Pictures At The Hilton Columbus Downtown

The Hilton Columbus Downtown has many great photo opportunities! While its true that there are lots of great locations in downtown Columbus, two of the most photographed locations are in this Hilton.

  1. The skybridge that connects to the convention center provides one of our favorite places for wedding photos. The natural light and gorgeous beams provide a beautiful backdrop. Some of the most beautiful photos on the skybridge are those where the couple's reflection can be seen in the windows.

  2. The venue's unique spiral staircase is another photo opportunity you won't want to miss. The artistic symmetry of the stairs gives you a very unique area for pictures. This is also a great spot for a bride to show off her dress.

 

Finally, the ballrooms themselves are ideal wedding photography locations. Whether you and your guests are enjoying a great meal, or you are having a great time dancing, you are sure to love your photos from your ballroom wedding.

You can make a very dramatic entrance into the rotunda by walking down the stairs.

So its pretty obvious from looking at pictures here and on other website that this is one of the most beautiful venues. Start with the interior with the beautiful staircases provide great backgrounds for pictures.

The exterior is stunning too, and you are sure to want at least a few pictures of you and your wedding party posing in front of the large pillars at the Ohio Statehouse.

The Statehouse outdoor steps and indoor staircases provided breathtaking photos.

 

The Inside Info For Your Receptions At The Ohio Statehouse

This isn’t just a historical venue…its THE historical venue for the entire state of Ohio. So it should almost go without saying that there are certain regulations on what sort of decorations and other items are permitted.

The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB), who take care of scheduling, can provide you with a list of preferred caterers. Because of the restrictions involved with using an outside caterer, it is probably best to stick to their preferred catering list. With seven preferred caterers, you have several great options to choose from.

The facilities are open from 7 am-12 am daily, but your guests cannot arrive before 8 am, and everyone must be gone by 11 pm. Clean-up begins at 11, and we’ve never heard of any exceptions. This venue is closed for all events on national holidays as the entire building is closed.

To make your reception even more dramatic, think about having lighting on the pillars. You can customize the color to fit your wedding colors. So you make the room look better and it ties in with your wedding.

Your guest can park for free in the underground garage.

The Ohio Highway Patrol is in charge of security for the statehouse, and will be on hand for your reception. You can’t get much better than that!

You have several hotels (Sheraton Capital Square and The Renaissance Hotel) within a VERY short walking distance from the Ohio Statehouse. Once again this makes it easy for your guests.

Decor ideas. You don’t need too much to make this already beautiful room look better.

This might be more of a personal option than anything else, but the gold chairs look awesome in the ballroom. It just makes the ballroom ‘pop’ without being too ‘in your face’. Its a very nice touch that comes your booking automatically.

Decor lighting is not often done here because of the dark wood walls. However a custom light monogram makes a strong contrast and helps personalize the space.

Wedding Receptions At The Fives Columbus

The Fives has two very different locations for receptions. You have The Social Hall which is 7000 square feet and can hold up to 400 guests. This makes it one of the larger reception rooms in Central Ohio.

Then you have The Terrace which is on the top of the building, had over 5000 square feet and can hold 350 guests.

Or you can combine BOTH locations and hold up to 750 guests!

When you have a new venue there is just so many things to talk about. Sure, the tall windows on both side of the room allow a lot of natural light into the room. But for us, the ceilings are the most unique feature. The chandeliers are just incredible.

If you reception is taking place during the nice weather months, you can have a cocktail hour outside with some cool seating.

This venue gives you so many different areas to have your reception. Do you want inside or outside? So yes you can have your reception inside the venue.

There is a small ‘patio’ that overlooks the main room which can host the ceremony.

Consider having your reception on The Terrace for great views of downtown.

Wedding Pictures At The Fives Columbus

It should almost go without saying that you will be able to get incredible pictures at The Fives.

Of course if you on the balcony, the pictures overlooking downtown Columbus will be incredible.

But you’d be mistaken if you think you can only get city views or inside pictures. You will have very easy access to The Reach On Goodale which will give you some great green space pictures. Best of all its just outside the main building.

 

Insider Information About The Fives

There is just so much to talk about with this venue. The views, the windows, the chandeliers, the park and the different rooms.

One of the most unique things is that the large windows can be rolled up like a garage door. This allows all your guests to enjoy the best of indoor and outdoor wedding receptions!

When having an outdoor ceremony, you need to consider having the proper equipment so that your guests can hear what is happening. We always suggest this. But its even MORE important if you are on The Terrace. The wind noise is almost always enough to overwhelm the soft voices of a ceremony.

This venue does offer ‘non-prime’ discounts for weddings that happen from January - March.

When you rent this facility you get the place for 3 hours before, up to 6 hours of time, and then 90 minutes of tear down.

Many couples take advantage of the steps in front of the building and just inside the lobby to get the dramatic picture.
